Allparts? If you open an account I believe they will sell to you wholesale. Minimum order is pretty high from what I remember though so I guess the question is how many sets are you willing to buy at a time.

Even though I am now a professional luthier I still don't have enough business to be able to order parts in bulk, but only take advantage of Stewmac's special for buying 3 sets of stuff...
